Evelyne Nyairo, Founder of Ellie Bianca, came to Canada from Kenya on her own at the age of 16, hoping to build a better life. After working her way to a power position consulting in the oil and gas industry, she followed her passion into the business of skincare. During one of her engineering projects, she travelled to Chad in Central Africa, and couldn’t help but notice how beautiful the women’s skin were – they were tapping into the power of plants and superfoods all around them. During that trip, she also noticed how much women were unfairly treated. When she was purchasing mangoes, she was told to pay the husband when it was the wife that picked the mangoes for her. This was unfair and wrong, and she was motivated to help improve the lives of the women there.

That is when she decided to start her own natural skincare company, Ellie Bianca, built on three pillars
Kind to your Skin: We believe that beauty is more than an aesthetic, that’s why each of our products is carefully formulated using all-natural ingredients that have been specifically chosen for their quality and effectiveness.
Kind to the Earth: We actively work to source directly with producers for our raw ingredients. This allows us to have more control over ingredient quality, it greatly reduces our carbon footprint, and it ensures that we are applying fair trade practices.
Kind to Women: We are passionately committed to bettering the lives of women around the world by empowerment through business, including profit sharing, fair trade programs, and education. The Ellie Bianca Foundation is an educational bursary which supports single mothers in Canada and boys and girls in Africa pursuing their educational studies.
Now in our sixth year of operation, Ellie Bianca is a Canada-based skincare line that boasts thirty-four all-natural products. We use organic oils and butters from Africa and all over the world to formulate and produce many of our products. With Evelyne’s background as a chemist, we are combining modern day science and the power of plants that have been used for centuries. We have since launched skin oils, face oils, face serums, bath salts and lip balms, liquid hand soaps and hand sanitizers. Our products are scientifically formulated with naturally sourced ingredients and are environmentally friendly, organic and non-GMO.
Ellie Bianca is a holistic skin care line that cultivates, sustains and empowers women through sustainable business practices and fair trade. We are committed to creating a superior beauty brand that is luxurious and provides a sustainable livelihood and a fair supply chain for the men and women who cultivate the ingredients we all love to use on our skin.
"When you invest in Ellie Bianca, you are not only investing in your skin but are also investing in bettering the lives of others around the globe."
